Hello everyone!

Today we're doing a Padel Club
review and we're going to be

talking about Wimbled Padel Club.

We are all things Padel.

Wimbled Padel Club.

It's been called the existing
chapel of Padel, the mecca of

Padel in the United States.

It's been the first Padel
club in the United States.

How, that's how the whole Padel wave,
the tsunami of Padel in the United

States started with Wynwood Padel Club.

And we're so happy today to be doing
a review of Wynwood Padel Club.

Wynwood Padel Club for me
is like my first girlfriend.

You know, it was my first Padel club.

I remember it forever.

And I feel like I have an attachment
there, you know, and I feel like

if I go to any other clubs, I feel
like I'm like cheating on the club.

I, I, I, I agree with you.

And just to be, to clarify,
that's the place where.

I work, that's where I spend most of
my time coaching and teaching players

how to become Padel players and how
to take their games to the next level.

That's where I started, that's
where I learned, that's where I

started playing every single day.

That was the first time I've ever
seen a Padel, right, in real life.

And I've seen it on TV, but when
I came down here and I passed by

there, I was like, wow, what is this?

Oh, yeah, this is Padel, it get me on.

I started playing the next day and I,
and I play there almost every single day.

Uh, I love that club.

I remember I have a great memories
there, uh, and I still play there.

So Cez, what are the five categories
that we're going to be talking about?

Location, courts, cost and amenities.

Let's go for it.

Location.

It's in the heart of Wynwood.

Wynwood Padel Club is
one of the more artfuls.

Padel clubs in the United States.

That's where the whole tsunami of Padel,
you know, started in the United States.

And, uh, we have to mention the
artfulness on the walls outside the club.

It's, it's truly mesmerizing.

It's truly, truly beautiful.

It makes you feel like you're in
the heart of the art district.

That area is, uh, you know.

Visited, uh, but the most
out of all the tourists.

Um, it's grown.

Uh, I mean, it's, it's really a unique
place and it's right there in the

heart of it, you know, and when you
get, when you go there, you're going

to see a lot of art in on the walls,
you're going to see a lot of art.

Right when you get in and right
at the club, um, they even have a

Romero Brito artwork inside the club.

I mean, it's, uh, in that aspect,
it's, it's pretty awesome.

Yeah.

And the Romero Brito is not just
a, um, a picture or a painting.

It's a huge mural.

I mean, it's just a beautiful thing.

So if somebody wanted to visit that
location, what's the exact address?

Address 1932 Northwest Miami
Court in the heart of Wynwood.

And if you're looking to go
on Google, it's Miami 33136.

All right.

Okay.

So let's go to our next
category, which is the courts.

What manufacturer of courts is it?

Originally, the courts
were built by Pelagest.

I believe it's a company.

I'm not sure if it's in Catalonia
and Barcelona or maybe in Valencia.

But, um, there are courts they've
been around for more than 10 years.

I mean, it really, really,
they're sustaining, you know, the

beat up of daily usage and all
that very good quality courts.

And recently they just changed the turf.

And now we have a Padel galley turf,
which is truly exceptional, that turf.

So you made a good point, um, about
how long the longevity of the courts.

I mean, they've been around how long now?

I mean, uh, more than 10 years.

More than 10 years.

And those things are still up and
still, you know, working great.

You know, so you got to give it out
to the manufacturer for the longevity

of the courts because we are.

Very close to salt water, you know, so
oxidation is one of the biggest things

and, you know, that's the sustainment.

Yeah, not only to the manufacturer,
but also to the maintenance of

the cords, the daily maintenance,
the weekly, the monthly.

Adding sun to it, cleaning up the
glasses, uh, maintaining the cord

overall, you know, it's, it's, it's
pretty easy, but you, there are

things that you must do at all times.

So let's go back to the turf.

Uh, I think you mentioned, well,
what was the brand of the turf

and what type of turf is it?

The turf is, uh, uh, um, uh, monofilament.

Uh, it's from Padel Gallies,
and, uh, it's been changed,

uh, maybe less than a year ago.

So it's really a good experience
when you play in new turf.

Great, great, great.

Okay, so let's talk a little bit
about the cost, because that's kind of

like, uh, important, uh, for viewers.

Yes, everybody asks.

So right now the rentals for you
to rent a cord for one and a half

hour, it's 110 during, um, I will
say off peak hours, but there is a

certain slot during the day, which is.

from 6.

30 to 8.

00 that the price goes from
110 to 140 per hour and a half.

So that's when most people are
going to be playing, right?

From 6.

30 to like, you know, 8.

00 or 10.

00.

So you said that's 140
for an hour and a half.

Uh, so how much does that come
out to be for the individual?

I think it's what, uh, 30 to 35 per
person on the peak hours and 27.

50.

Um, off peak hours.

I mean, peak hours is only that, only
that, uh, hour and a half, that extra.

So 35 a person.

That's what's the cost.

And the club it's open
until 11 o'clock at night.

And, uh, we're open at
seven in the morning.

So it's a pretty long day that you can
come to the club and play great Padel.

Okay.

All right.

So let's talk about amenities.

What amenities does that club have?

Uh, beautiful bathroom showers.

We have a great, great bar.

The coffee is outstanding.

The cappuccinos are delicious.

And you, if you go to Wynwood,
you must try those croissants,

especially if you go in the morning
where you, when you walk into the

club, you smell that freshly baked
croissant smell is truly magnificent.

Okay.

So does Wynwood have, uh,
any affiliations to products?

Well, this recently sign up, uh, I
believe you'll sign up a contract or

a sponsorship with Padel Nuestro.

So we have the whole array of Padel
products from Padel Nuestro, from

apparel to rackets to the Padel
balls, um, pretty much everything.

Also we have, uh, Dunlop Padel balls,
and then we have Kimoa, which is,

um, what's the name of the racer?

Fernando Alonso.

Fernando Alonso Padel brand,
uh, which is pretty good.

Yeah.

And also we, some of the sponsors,
it's, uh, Padel Nuestro,

Kimoa, Abanca, and, uh, Dunlop.

And I think we do a few
things with Wilson as well.

So through Padel Nuestro,
they can get all the variety of

brands for the rackets, right?

Yes, pretty much all of them.

Okay.

So let's talk about, uh, you know, their
tournaments, uh, the in house tournaments.

Okay.

Yes.

So, uh, I think they have them through
the whole week, uh, but the major

ones I think are Saturday, Sunday.

They have ones on Thursday, something
on Tuesday and Friday, so maybe you

could talk a little bit more about that.

Yeah, the, uh, legendary and
amazing, uh, Pedro, who runs, he's

been running the tournaments for
quite a couple of years already.

He's been doing a great, great job
and, uh, he does the, um, uh, Saturday

and Sunday morning tournaments
that they're super, super fun.

Uh, there are short tournaments, you
play five games, no ad, but they get

super competitive and they divide in
between intermediate and advanced level.

Uh, they start at eight o'clock
in the morning and we, they have a

group chat, a group chat that you
can sign up for, or you can contact

Pedro, uh, you know, directly to
him to put you up in the tournament.

It gets super fun, super exciting.

You know, you ended up playing
every Saturday and Sunday morning

for about three, four hours.

Um, and the great thing is
you get to meet new people.

Yeah.

You know, new partners could be.

And how much is that
to participate in that?

I think he's charging right now 25,
uh, 25 or 30, which is pretty, I mean,

for, yeah, for three hours of Padel.

I mean, it's just a fantastic,
you ended up playing some great

matches, meeting some great people.

And Sundays he does the same thing.

Um, and also he does some Saturday
afternoons, the mixed tournaments,

uh, men and women, which are
also very, very successful.

Um, and also Tuesdays and Thursdays at
night, uh, starting eight o'clock at

night, he does the advanced tournament.

And if you want to see great Padel
playing and great competition.

You must come and play those, those
tournaments and if you're a lower

level, come and watch because these
guys are absolutely outstanding players.

I gotta say, uh, this is a club
that has the most tournaments,

most organized tournaments.

Um, out of all the clubs, I believe,
um, it's pretty well organized.

I play in many of them,
um, and it's great.

I gotta say, it's really great.

All right, so if somebody wanted to
get started and doesn't really know how

to play or they want to advance their
game, um, do they have lessons there?

We do have private lessons
and group lessons and clinics.

Um, the cost of the lessons are a hundred
dollars for one hour lesson, private

one to one, one coach, one player,
uh, 60 per player for, for an hour.

Then we go to three players for an hour.

It's 50.

And for four players for one
hour, it's 50 per player.

Um, the more players, it costs
you less and, uh, you get, you

know, excellent value for the,
for the, for, for the lessons.

The other most important thing
is the one that it's really

happening and we get a lot of.

You know, traction and people
gets excited about the clinics.

Clinics are 35 for an hour, and they run
pretty much every single morning from 7 a.

m.

through all the way to, depending on the
day, 10, 30 or 10 o'clock in the morning.

And we have from men's clinics,
ladies clinics, mixed clinics, and

it goes Monday through Saturday.

Um, and we get fully booked in advance, a
month in advance, they get fully booked.

So, but we do have a waiting
list if you're looking to get

into one of those clinics.

So, I, I highly recommend it.

So, I think this is probably
the best place, uh, you know,

to start if you're a beginner.

Or just want to improve your game.

I mean, if you never play this,
going into the clinics, you're

going to meet some people.

You're going to get some one
on one with a coach and really

start learning how to play.

Once you feel confident, you can go ahead
and start doing the tournaments, right?

And one of the, everybody's asking,
how can I sign up for the clinics?

How can I sign up for the lessons?

We have an app called Play by
Point that you can download it on

any Android phone or Apple phone.

Uh, it's pretty simple.

You sign up, you create your
account and then from there you

can, uh, reserve clinics, reserve
courts, uh, make bookings, ask

questions and things like that.

And if you want to take a private lesson.

Uh, you can, uh, directly communicate,
uh, communicate with one of our coaches.

Right.

Great.

Now I've heard there's one of the best
coaches in Florida, uh, that works there.

He wears some funny glasses, but
he's supposed to be one of the best.

So can we talk about the coaches there?

The coaches, let's talk about the coaches.

So we have, um, right now
there are four coaches.

Uh, one of them is David Diaz.

Um, he's been doing Padel for
over, you know, two decades.

He's an outstanding coach for all levels.

Uh, he's truly incredible
on the Padel court.

Uh, he runs the clinics absolutely great.

And if you want to learn
Padel, he's one of them to go.

The other one is, uh, is the never
ending energetic Jorge Jimenez.

He runs private lessons, clinics.

He's an unbelievable player.

If you want to watch him play whenever
he's playing tournaments and all

that, he's an outstanding player.

The other one is the enigmatic
and fantastic Mauro Noguera.

Uh, he's also extremely talented on the
Padel court as a coach and as a player.

It's a, it's a pleasure to watch him
play Padel and coaching as well.

Um, and Bruno Medes, he's
with us also, uh, part time.

Usually come during
the summertime as well.

And he's an outstanding coach as well.

And he's also a great,
great musician and DJ.

That's why he does this part time
because he's a full time DJ and musician.

I mean, you should look it
up in, in Apple, Apple music

and the one and only myself.

Julian, Julian, you have a great coach.

Uh, you're the master of
masters of masters, right?

So if anybody is looking for a coach, I
mean, even from beginners to an advanced.

Uh, look, want to learn all the shots
because I think that's what's really

important and not just learn the shots,
but learn how to do them properly.

Uh, Julian is, is, is a coach for you.

Quick, quick, uh, quick question.

How many, how many shots
do we have in battle?

Uh, about 24, 25 plus another
10, you know, in advanced shots.

There you go, baby.

Way to go.

So, everyone, if you're looking
to go to the Sistine Chapel, to

the Vatican of Padel, please come

and mystical Wynwood Padel Club.

That's where the tsunami of Padel
in the United States started.
